Windows 7 not showing Sony HVR-MRC1K device in Windows Explorer

Hi,
The Sony HVR-MRC1K is a memory recording device that attaches to Sony video cameras and records onto CompactFlash cards.  When connecting this device (via Firewire) to my computer, the device can be seen under "Devices and Printers", but I cannot see the device on Windows Explorer or My Computer, hence I cannot pull video files off the card onto my computer.
The device works fine under Windows XP, and Windows Vista x64, but not Windows 7 RC x64.
If I am doing something wrong or there is another way to view the files on this device, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Allen.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to mention, this is not the same issue as the video capture problem that Windows 7 seems to have with some Camcorders.  The second poster on this thread (Nano Warp) thought it might be related and posted a link to another thread.
The MRC-1K is a memory recording unit that records onto CompactFlash cards.  When connected to a computer via 1394 (FireWire), it acts as a hard disk drive device - Windows should allocate it a drive path/letter and should be able to access data on the card.  It works under previous versions of Windows but Windows 7 recognizes the device as an AV/C tape recorder/player and does not allocate it a drive path/letter.
I thought maybe I could manually change the driver to whatever Vista 64 uses for this device but I'm not sure which driver it uses.  If anyone has any idea, please let us know.
Anyone else having a similar issue with a HDD type device being recognized as something different by Win 7? 
Thanks.

  • Windows not showing. Page source and library windows open but not showing.

    I select View --> Page Source and no window appears. Under the Window menu, the item Source: . . . shows but no window. If I close the main window then the item is ticked but still no actual window.
    I have disable all extensions and plugins, safe mode, revert all preferences.
    the same happens with Show all Bookmarks. This is why I posted this under bookmarks problems originally - see below.
    I now find the same happens to downloads and Error console windows. No problems in Safari or MS Word (usually the worst performer)
    Bookmarks are all present, but show all bookmarks produces no window, even though the window menu shows an item and I can select it.
    Mac OS 10.6.8 FF 5.01 Show all bookmarks shows no window, even if I close the main window. Under window menu the 'Library' item is ticked but still nothing. I have restarted, and renamed places database. recently installed some of these addons

    The one that solved it was my own last post, which does not have a Solved it.
    I copied the FF profile folder from another login and started with that.
    However. . . the problem is back. I installed extensions, NoScript and MyBookmarks and it seemed OK after that.
    Then I installed Download Youtube videos + 3.3.51, then DownThemAll! 2.0.7, Google Shortcuts 2.1..6, ImTranslator, QuickWiki and Read It later. No Plugins ennabled.
    when I disable all extensions then the windows for downloads, error console and 'open link in new window appear OK, but not the source or Library windows.
    As before they are on the window menu but no way to make them visible.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

  • My iphone 4S shows up on my computer but does not show up in itunes devices. I have all security

    I just got an iPhone 4S and am unable to get it to show up as a device in iTunes.
    I previously backed up my old iPhone on my Windows 7 PC. When I connect my 4S to the PC it is recognized by the PC but does not show up as a device in iTunes.
    I have turned off all virus protection software & have tried uninstalling iTunes and all associated Apple software. I reinstalled all Apple software with no results in my 4S showing up as a device in iTunes.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device.

    When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device. I have tried the advice provided by Apple. I have gone through the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant. That gave no solutions. I have tried the other solutions offered by Apple. I think that I have possibly identified the problem. As far as I know the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not installed on my computer. I have tried to install it but when I do I receive an error message. I repeat the entire error message in the following paragraph. The message appears in a dialogue box with the name: "Update Driver Software - iPhone".
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Access is denied. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
    I cannot find a solution to this problem on Apple's website. How can I get this driver installed?

  • When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device".

    When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device", however my computer can see they are connected. so it seems to be a problem with itunes. i have tried re-installing itunes and it still doesnt work.
    My Iphone does show as a device when connecteing wirelessly.
    Its not a problem with the driver becasue the computer can see the devices, so its a problem in itunes.

    Hello mimward,
    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:

  • HT1535 on the upper right corner it is not showing my iphone 5 device?

    on the upe right corner of itunes its not showing my iphone 5 device. so how can i sync my device with my computer?

    Hello roysyl,
    We have an article to assist with troubleshooting the exact scenario you describe here. It is called iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
    I recommend starting with restarting both devices.
    Then if that does not get the iPhone to show in iTunes, follow the article starting at step 1 and working down as needed.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select Check for updates in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Check for third-party software conflicts
    Regards,
    Sterling

    SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
    Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
    Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
    Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.
